The University Archives introduces a new one-stop portal (http://library.ust.hk/hkustpub) for HKUST's publications and newsletters. You can find here the current issue of HKUST Newsletter as well as the debut issues dating back to 1988, the program of the first congregation in 1993 and much more.
This database includes university publications such as Corporate Booklet and Annual Report plus newsletters issued by various departments and offices. The printed issues are scanned and converted to searchable full text PDF files. In recent years, many newsletters are published online. Besides those found at the University Publications website (http://www.ust.hk/eng/about/publications.htm), other online newsletters are scattered across departmental websites.
The University Archives visits these sites periodically and saves a copy for preservation. Now, via this portal, you can browse all these current or old, printed or "born digital" publications - browsing by issuing department or searching the entire collection by keywords. Try to search for "sundial" or "time capsule" - you will find some interesting stories which you might not have heard about before.
This is a rich source of information about the University, schools and departments. The newsletters also share with us teaching and learning experience, as well as student and alumni activities. Whether you are searching for current information about the University or want to walk down memory lane by looking at publications from HKUST's early days, this database is worth a visit.
